"Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams"

So sorry I haven't been keeping this up like I should. Life here gets going and just doesn't stop so here I go trying to catch up on life....

So Thursday we had a day long field trip to the Negev which started watching bedouin women weaving stuff and showing us how...ya know keeping the tradition alive a little bit.

Davis loves to crash roomie pics especially beside spun wool

After that, we headed to Arad and Avdat...I forget right now which pictures were at which ruin site and am kinda too tired to figure it out but for the most part Avdat was more preserved but both were great. The weather however was not. It was sooooooooo cold and windy and rainy and sadly we all rejoiced when we got to get back on the bus. The last site was actually worth it though. It was really neat. Who knew rocks could be so great?

Tucker= the annoying teenage son

Me = their favorite daughter

Ashley and Mark = the cool uncle and aunt

Lots of love

...sometimes Megan and I don't exactly get along. jk but naturally we had to take advantage of the setting and pretend to sacrifice each other on the altar. Her face was priceless when I first picked up the rock.

Me in the main part of the church thingy.

The great end of a great day = a rainbow :)

Friday was great. We had our long awaited field trip to the western wall (sorry no pictures allowed). It was such a neat experience. To see how devoted all of the Jewish people were. It was inspiring to say the least. Such an indescribable experience. No worries we were invited to a dancing chanting circle. It was a party.

Then came Friday which ended the right way. Service project turned into dance party.

Talk about LOVE!

Then the sabbath...primary is always a great time. Favorite part was singing "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" and jumping up and down. Brought me back to childhood times for sure.

Then off to the garden tomb as pictured below. It was an awesome place and I loved how the tour guide stressed the importance of it not mattering about if the site was actual or not it is more about the person who we remember by the site. I can't wait to go back and have more time there.

Then up to date with today. We walked the Rampart's wall. Which is just the wall around the city. Luckily the rain held out till we finished. I am pretty sure these days we just travel to sites as an excuse to take pictures with eachother....but really so ya it was a good time. Then it started to downpour which is always a fun time so we walked back to the center for a much needed wrapping in blankets and movie watching time. It was great. 

Goodbye for now I am off to Jordan for 4 days :) Petra here I come!!!
